Our strategy

We have a clear strategy to maintain and extend our industry leadership, based on six key objectives:

Breadth

Expanding our breadth to better tailor our integrated
offer

With an industry-leading range of products and services that
spans the maritime and financial markets, we are uniquely placed to
deliver bespoke commercial solutions to all our clients. We are the
best-in-class intermediary across every sector of maritime trade -
and no single company is our lead competitor in more than one
market.

Reach

Extending our reach to support clients globally

Ours is a global presence, enabling us to meet client needs
wherever and whenever they arise. With 48 offices in 22
countries, and growing, we share understanding, culture, IT systems
and high standards of corporate governance across our
business.

Understanding

Stronger understanding of clients needs

Our client base ranges from oil majors, raw material producers,
other multinationals and long-established shipowning families. We
have worked with many of these clients for generations, building a
deep understanding of their businesses and providing the services
that have helped them to prosper.

People

Empowering people to fulfil their potential

We want Clarksons to be recognised as the place where the best
people are empowered to do their best work. We hire the brightest
talents and give them the tools to shine - including leading edge
IT systems, high quality training and development and financial
reward.

Trust

Maintaining trust in shipping intelligence

As the industry's leading provider of data and market
intelligence on the shipping and offshore industries, our research
team is the largest commercially-led unit in the maritime world.
Our databases track over 140,000 ships and 7,000 offshore fields.
Shipping Intelligence Network is viewed more than five million
times per year.

Growth

Growing our business to improve performance

Consistently profitable and cash generative, our financial
performance bears comparison with any business, not only in the
shipping sector but across the FTSE. Our Total shareholder return
has been consistently strong and includes a progressive dividend
policy that has been maintained for the last 15 years.

Vision and Values

What makes us the natural partners for a wide range of clients on five continents?
